Yes I know, they are struggling against a side with 15 out

It would indeed be a disgrace to lose this game. But we lost to Adelaide and Collingwood last year.

You can't build a forward line around Chol and Casboult. They are terrible.

Not sure they planned on King doing his ACL. But yes their back up talls are borderline AFL quality. 
Outside of Miller and Rowell they aren’t much chop, which is confusing because they’ve had 198 first round draft picks.

    Of course they'll lose.

    Fair enough unexpected losses will happen I agree, but just about every player on our list would have to catch covid at once to lose to the rabble I’m watching at the moment!

    This is bang bang bang but neither team has a sweeper right now!

    Thought this an hour ago, but the only thing that would prevent Gold Coast from winning this match was their kicking for goal. Should have been 20 points up halfway through the third.

    NicNac is Benjamin Buttoning the ruck position, he’s gone from the most exiting with his athleticism to turn back the clock to the 80s and 90s plodders who had lots of ruck taps and sweet f all else.

    Have enjoyed Powell's work (no.27) tonight for the Gold Coast. Strong mark and good foot skills.

    Come on Gold Coast. You can do it! You can beat West Coast thirds. I believe in you!

    No ... it was Jack Fitzpatrick.

    Suns should hold from here at our 2nd home.


    It's an absolute travesty there aren't 60,000 WC fans inside Optus to witness this.

    Great finish by Gold Coast. Eagles clearly ran out of legs but GC played well. 

    Good to see Matt Rowell back in action. Touk Miller is a star.

    Suns look out on their feet. 
    playing in mid twenties heat away from home off a 6 day break, we have a major advantage next Sat

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
